My friend recommended this to me as an anime movie for people that don't like anime. I was not disappointed and ended up watching this movie many many times. I always pick up on something new every time

Bizarre and enjoyable. Animation provides a great medium for surrealism - literally anything is possible and this gives it a great edge over its real life counterparts. And hey, it's funny too.

Crazy, bizarre and... good! I liked it.

A brain-cannibal's delight. Disgustingly yummy.

A really wonderful short cartoon. It's really bizarre but hypnotic. There's a lot of gore and freakishness involved so it's not for everyone. But all in all you would do yourself a huge disservice if you didn't watch it. I highly recommend it.

A wild animated movie about a cat journeying to the underworld to rescue his sister. Very creative and beautifully animated.

"A very unusually bizarre and surreal 30-minute anime... This is somewhere in between random acidic imagery, a surreal-mystical exploration of life and death, and Dali mixed with Bill Plympton. A must-see at least once for fans of the bizarre."

Interesting and surreal. Enjoyable use of morbid humor.

A surrealist short the way it ought to be! Never boring and one-dimensional, "Cat Soup" dazzles with gorgeous visuals, creative ideas at every turn, and lively background music. But unlike many inscrutable surrealist works, this one actually has characters and plot to it. You have to pay attention, but it's there, and not merely a matter of speculation. Considering this is the weirdest one of them all, that's quite an accomplishment. An outstanding short.

LOOK AT HOW SURREALIST AND INTELLECTUAL I AM!!!

Stunning surreal dream with so much depth and emotion, that I could not look away for a moment. Great, disturbing, sad.

Crazy Japanese animation. It's creative and strangely enjoyable.

Trippy, weird, sometimes creepy, but so awesome

An anthropomorphic cat takes acid and goes to a circus where a woman is carved to pieces and a flood happens so he gets on a boat and hallucinates some fish eating his shit. Then it gets weird.

Weird, but interesting.

The pig lives on.

It's pretty surreal.

Darndest thing I ever saw.

How impotent. Where's the giant mecha when you really need them?

Very good surreal animation.

Psycadelic and absurd, the story is yet simple enough in its symbolism to be enjoyed by most people. Cat soup is very striking visually in a mix of clean chibi animestile mixed with more realistic elements. There is no talking, just murmur and charecteristic backround music. Works fine indeed!

Weird, enjoyable, loose narative. Not as compelling as Tamala 2010.

Stream-of-consciousness surrealism in the vein of early Bunuel. Absurd, amusing and disturbing. The artwork (as in Mind Game) is so stunning, like illustrations from a beloved surrealist children's book.

Haha, this is insane. It's basically a showcase for bizarre, wonderful animation, loosely tied together with a plot about life and death and all of that good stuff. I feel no need to search for symbolism or metaphors, though I'm sure there's plenty; this stuff works best when you take it at face value and totally immerse yourself in the weirdness.

It had some really inventive animation, which went from being really odd, to cute, to disturbing, to original. But it was also difficult to understand what was going on, since it's a surreal black comedy. It has really powerful music that fits the scenes really well.

Pretty awesome.

Trippy, as most of surrealism art. Most importantly, it doesn't feel empty.

That poor pig.

This thing is craaaaaaazy.

I love the circus.
